Mya's Christmas Present

Ok so we are a little early but Jessica and I couldn't wait.  We decided to let Christmas come a little early this year to the Dimmick household.  We have known what we wanted to get our little munchkin for quite some time now but wanted to give it to her on Christmas. 

If you don't know this Mya has a small obsession with playgrounds and swingsets...as do all children I guess.  She absolutely loves going to the park and climbing up and down the stairs and going down the slide.  She also loves the swings.  She is becoming more and more of a dare devil as she gets a little older.  She always wants us to swing her.  She always yells "higher daddy", "higher daddy".  She loves the thrill I guess.

The swingset now looks great in our backyard but it was definatley a small slice of heaven putting this little nightmare together.  My buddy and I decided that we would run up to Toys R Us and pick this thing up in his SUV.  After jamming this thing into the back and using rope to tie down the hatch we said a little prayer that this wouldn't fall out on the interstate on the way home.  We got back to my house and had to take it piece by piece into the backyard because it was just way too heavy for the 2 of us to carry.  I know I know it is hard to believe that he and I couldn't carry this thing in the back...I mean we have been working out.  Once we got it back there we got right to work.  3 Hours later and a few curse words that I would rather not repeat we had a swingset.   I have posted the video of Mya seeing it for the first time and also of her playing with it.  Unfortunately the weather has not allowed her to use it as much as we would have liked but she will enjoy this for a few years.  She absolutely loves it.  It was the perfect gift.




And here is another video just for fun!  Mya and her fantastic animal impressions!







More to come soon.  Stay Tuned......
